Cardiorespiratory fitness and smoking-related and total cancer mortality in men
Why the study?
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce smoking-related, nonsmoking-related, and total cancer mortality in men?
Population
25,892 men, age 30-87 years, who had a preventive medical evaluation including a maximal exercise test and…
Comparison
Moderate and high levels of cardiorespiratory… vs Low cardiorespiratory fitness

Implication
Higher fitness may aid cancer risk stratification in men; hypothesis-generating for interventions, as causality remains unproven.
Structured PICO
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce smoking-related, nonsmoking-related, and total cancer mortality in men?
P
Population
25,892 men, age 30-87 years, who had a preventive medical evaluation including a maximal exercise test and self-reported health habits.
I
Intervention
Moderate and high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (assessed via maximal exercise test)
C
Comparator
Low cardiorespiratory fitness
O
Outcome
Smoking-related, nonsmoking-related, and total cancer mortalityhard clinical
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a significantly lower risk of smoking-related, nonsmoking-related, and total cancer mortality in men.
